I love it when white Dudes proclaim to know the cure for white privilege

188. I like when anyone thinks they know what's best for someone else

which is a broad brush. Like anyone outside of a any demographic would know what's best for that demographic.

White people have a multi-millenial history of know what's best for non-whites and that includes many white liberals today who are oblivious of their own white privilege that enables them to live a hippie lifestyle. There's a reason that liberals are very diverse but most hippies are white.

Men like to "mansplain" to women. Women do similar things to men, often in a more emotional guilt-trip manipulative way rather than logical. I'm sure it feels right to the ones who do it. I bet their intentions are honorable, as with most normal human beings.

Older folks always know that younger folks are so stupid and lazy they need someone else telling them to work harder and wise up, in a world that has completely transformed in many important ways from where we were just a few years ago let alone decades.

Younger folks have similar thoughts about how older folks are to blame for most problems and should have done things better.

Everyone always knows better. No one bothers to take the log out of their own eye before pointing out the dust in someone else's. Every time I point a finger at you, there's 3 pointing back at me. A fist is more effective. Its so easy to tell someone else to "suck it up", "bootstraps!", "be grateful", etc.

i'm guilty too. I'm looking for someone to blame for my impending job loss which will happen any day now. I'm a small minority, so maybe I'll blame white privilege. I'll be willfully oblivious to the fact that a big reason I got my job in the first place is because my white female boss was clearly stacking her group with diversity in order to build her coalition of support to propel her upwards, and it worked. My education/income privilege will help cushion my impending fall.
